Lazy part time housewives' solution!

Monday, Ma and Pa made san tong sui kao, this is their ancestor's secret recipe - we all loved it!

Everything made from scratch n nicely wrapped


you can boil or pan fry them
Everybody helped out in the kitchen

Finished products! yummm~ darling fried those sui kao, he's very patient in cooking and the things he fried usually looks very good!



Yesterday we went grocery shopping at Costco (kinda like Macro) and bought almost 300$ worth of food!! Pa mentioned something in the car, this is like 900rm!!!

Gosh I didnt realize that but after you convert it, that is really too much to be spending just on food, and we didnt buy any lebih stuff, just all very essential and basic necessities like meats, ham, cheese, rice etc...


Thanks to his lazy wife that hasnt been cooking much.... so darling came up with this idea to solve lazy wives' problem - how thoughtful? he suggested that we got whole bunch of meats and cooked them all then freeze them so we can use whenever we want. In that case - we always have food ready to go, just fry some vege or some other small side dish if I AM not too lazy.

So I split this mission into two days work, coz after 2 hours of grocery shopping, i got really tired on day 1 - but i still made whole bunch of masala chicken (I know i made this way too often but is everybody's favourite and our choice too!)


So now our freezer look like this - 3 big tubs of masala and some other uncooked meat.

Day 2- I made oyster sauce chicken with mushrooms n carrots just so we got some vege too.

and got whole bunch of cheap shanghai yu choy from china town.

Yea this is our normal portion for each meal, we do eat alot!

Lex was in this position for half an hour, he does enjoy his little sight seeing -
seem like a very sentimental dog =), him enjoying his deep thoughts....

The sui kao looks great. I like them in soup form though the fried ones are good too.

Happysurfer,
